Counting

from Nemesis by A Flower in Disguise

lyrics

Please understand
I come to you with empty hands
Cause I’ve been counting on my fingers
Cause I’ve been counting on my knees
Oh, please and I still can’t breathe
No, I still can’t believe
That it is what it is
All I ever dreamed
Because I am what I am
And you tell me what it is

I just keep returning to the hurting
But too familiar is this numbness
And all days echo memories
The hurt keeps returning
The aftertaste of a wish
No, I still can’t believe
That it is what it is
All I ever dreamed

Heavy, holding my breath
Watching my step
Won’t drop my guard
I hold my heart
I hold my heart, still
I don’t want to fall apart

I tried to keep it to myself
But there is no arm’s length of distance
It within me now
Pitting dignity
Within my body my soul had drown
My breath is shallow now

I just keep returning to the hurting
But too familiar is this numbness
And all days echo memories
Counting on my fingers
Counting on my knees
The hurt keeps returning
The aftertaste of a wish turned cruel
But I’m hurting
No, I still can’t believe
That it is what it is
All I ever dreamed

And all days echo memories
Counting on my fingers
Counting on my knees
Oh, please, please, please
